The resolution cites anticipated annual savings of about 1500 and directs county officials to place children with proper authorities. District Attorney Hirschberg pressed for audit reforms as accounts were reviewed and a clerk for the county probation office was considered. The Montgomery Middletown road repair plan was introduced by Supervisor Wallace.

City to abolish Children's Home impacts public school receipts
The Board of Supervisors voted to abolish the city's Children’s Home, likely reducing tuition receipts for non resident pupils. In the past year 11 to 23 children attended local schools, mainly Beattie Hill, with the county covering their instruction. Tuition totals by term ranged from 68 to 114. The supervisor of the Home, W F Durland, handles billing and payments, and withdrawal may affect Beattie Hill school seating capacity next year.
